Reporting of globals defined

[heiskr]

Other plugins I've used with other text editors will list out all of the things defined at global, whether by accident or not. This plugin doesn't seem to warn or list about accidentally defined globals. Otherwise its an amazing project!

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for trying out JSLintMate!

JSLint and JSHint support the undef option, which lets you list accidental globals as errors. In your JSLint options file (e.g., jslint.json), set undef: false to find accidental globals. In your JSHint options file, set undef: true instead. (The two projects diverged on how their options behave.)

Some useful info on these:

• List of JSLint options
• List of JSHint options

Once these options are set, JSLintMate will point out accidental globals, e.g., x = 1; (no var). The latest build of JSLint will report, "'x' was used before it was defined", and the latest build of JSHint will report, "'x' is not defined".

Cheers,
Ron
